DP read this and said it was great so I started reading it and was quite enjoying it initially but now I'm finding it a bit dull TBH (I'm at the bit thats all about the religions).

I never used to give up on books ever but a few years ago I realised that there's no point in wasting your life reading something you really are not enjoying. However I keep hearing that this book is so good that I don't want to miss out.

Shall I keep going or not?

Yes, yes, yes, absolutely keep going. It is one of my favourite books.

I gave up with it so can't answer whether its worth persevering with.

I didn't persevere CroissantNeuf I had the same reaction to you. This thread has inspired me to go and dig it out again though. Thanks you other readers.

Keep going, it's a fantastic book.

Yes! Its amazing! It turned my head completely. I too was a bit meh whilst reading the first half of the book. But it blew my mind at the end. Really did!

Oo yes. The start - in fact a lot of the first half! -nearly put me off but it gets so so much better. Persevere!
